As per report DMK chief MK stalin has called for a fair inquiry into allegations that the phones of several journalists, human rights activists and politicians were hacked into by Israeli software and that the bjp government had asked for the hack. Meanwhile this comes days after Facebook-owned messaging service whatsapp confirmed that a number of users in india were hit by the Pegasus spyware that infected about 1,400 users of the platform worldwide.

Furthermore the hack itself took place in May this year, the issue made headlines after whatsapp accused and sued Israeli tech firm NSO Group for the program last week in an American federal court. Further stalin tweeted, “If reports about political leaders' phones having been under illegal surveillance are true, then the Union government owes an explanation to the country and the government must also launch a fair inquiry guided by the Supreme Court's ruling on the right to privacy #WhatsAppSpygate”.



Moreover ravi shankar Prasad, minister for Electronics and Information technology issued a statement on thursday that the government was concerned 'at the breach of privacy of citizens of India.' Perhaps in May, whatsapp had sent a Vulnerability Note to CERT-in, the central nodal agency handling cyber security threats. However, Indian government sources speaking to media houses, in an attempt to bail them out, called the communication 'pure technical jargon'.
